In January 2023, the Biden Administration began using a cellphone app known as CBP One to bring foreigners into the United States for the purpose of trying to make them future citizens. The cellphone app would tell them exactly where to go on the U.S.-Mexico border and on what day. They would then be received by Border Patrol and “paroled” into the USA with a two-year work visa.
Note that this program is different from Biden’s so-called CHNV program, in which hundreds of thousands of Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans were picked up by the Biden administration and flown to the interior of the USA.
The Department of Homeland Security says that over 900,000 migrants who entered the USA through the CBP One program have been notified that their parole is being terminated. This includes people from all nations except Ukraine and Afghanistan. The lion’s share of these people are believed to be Mexicans, Haitians, Venezuelans, and Cubans, with smaller numbers of Hondurans, Russians, Salvadorans, Colombians, Chileans, and Guatemalans.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, CBP One migrants are being urged to return home on their own. If they do not, they will allegedly be forcibly deported and barred from ever returning to the USA. However, it is unclear what timeline they have been given to leave or whether their two-year work visas are being cancelled early.
Donald Trump shut down both the CHNV and CBP One programs as soon as he was sworn into office.
When Biden left office, millions of aliens from twenty-one different nations had some form of protection from deportation.
When Trump was sworn in, he immediately cancelled Biden’s order to renew Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Venezuelans. It is anticipated that Trump will allow TPS to expire in 2025 for Cameroonians, Nepalis, Salvadorans, and Hondurans who currently have the status.
